I think you're completely ignoring the reality of frauds. Jeff Atwood was writing about this over a decade ago with "FizzBuzz".

There are many people who spend more effort creating the illusion of competence on paper and on the job, getting harder to detect the higher they go.

We as a profession (software engineers) have continually resisted broad unified certification like other engineers which could be a replacement for code interviews to assess competence, but would have other drawbacks.

So we are stuck with code interviews to ferret out BSers. And even then it sometimes fails. But it appears to be the best tool we have, because there is nowhere to hide. Don't take ot so personally.
Oh, I see what I'm doing wrong now. If I hold it down it highlights it and gives me the "edit letter/line" thing, and then if I let go I get the Copy option. I guess in the past I've seen it highlight the word and just stopped before it got to that point.

Thanks!
This seems to be an "arena" or "pool" allocation approach. Conceptually quite a mature technique, but this adds the benefit of statically checking against pool lifetime?

Probably works quite well for systems programming, where things are either "live forever", "reallocate within some pool" (thread handles, file descriptors, etc), or "transient" (for the lifetime of a system call or similar).
Isn't this a hugely embarrassing oversight? Doesn't it mean that the climate models are kind of junky, if major parameters are missing? Who knows what else isn't there?

I'm sure an apology from 'science' will be forthcoming shortly. /s

No. However, VS Code sometimes freezes shortly. Maybe some GC stuff going on. But when both VS Code and Zed have finished starting (Zed of course faster) and you start typing, you don't feel a difference (unless you're on a very slow computer I guess). At least I don't. Same with Neovim.

I don't get this. There are so many things that Zed does better than VS Code, but typing latency is the least noticeable and interesting.

Does k9s work with k3s without issues?
My gut feeling agrees with you but I would really like more detailed reasons why this is the case. Is memory fragmentation that big of an issue? Are heap allocations more expensive somehow (even if memory is not fragmented yet)? Is there something else? Does re-arranging memory in the heap makes performance unpredictable like GC languages?
Debateable; I much prefer the dotnet ecosystem, even if it's less open. I suspect green threads vs C# async is another matter of taste as well. Plus Oracle is a much more annoying overlord for Java.
They are also dangerous and that’s also a big reason why nobody hangs out there after a certain time. European downtowns are family friendly and actually nice and safe, unlike the US.
All that is already present without climate change. By not quantifying it, your claims are meaningless. Perhaps burning oil (and all the technology enabled by it) is what gave us global stability in the first place since countries could get richer by being productive instead of conquering each other.

--------------

With over six years of experience in applied machine learning, I worked mainly on pipelining machine learning models for search retrieval/ranking (text/image/multimodal), recommender systems, including some computer vision tasks (object detection, segmentation) mainly from ECCV/CVPR/NeurIPS competitions on Kaggle, and experience consulting on the quant side dealing with financial AI use-cases (scenario generation of stock portfolios, fraud detection at scale such as multi-chain Blockchains transactions > 100M). I am amenable to acquiring proficiency in diverse programming languages/frameworks, and infrastructure (currently learning Rust). My problem-solving aptitude extends beyond coding and product development; I actively seek opportunities to enhance the development process and assist colleagues through mentoring and coaching. If your team requires a machine learning researcher/engineer, data scientist, or research scientist to build production-grade modelling pipeline focussed toward performance optimisation and producing high-quality code and features, I am readily available for a full-time, remote/contract, and long-term roles.
When I was in school, a long time ago, schools “tracked” students into gifted, regular, and special needs classes. At least in California where I grew up. I’m sure that varied by school district because in the US schools get managed locally and funded by property taxes, leading to lots of variation in quality and available programs.

At some point in the ‘70s tracking got abandoned. I think it happened because of a desire to eliminate inequality but I’m not sure — could have happened due to lack of funding.

Americans have private school options but those get expensive so that’s mainly an upper-middle and upper class thing.

The “no child left behind” idea mandated standardized tests and ranking teachers, which led to optimizing for the tests and grade inflation.

Fortunately by the time I had kids we could homeschool. Religious fundamentalists paved the way in court, making it legal in most states, with different rules and levels of enforcement. I raised my kids mostly in Oregon, ultra liberal and lax about homeschooling.
Pants are also a form of PPE. On such a site you want something resistant to cuts, heat/fire and probably also chemicals.
I know a lot of distsys people who went from Google to Apple a few years ago and it sounds like a terrible place to work.

They're also super secretive. None of my friends can tell me what they work on. Awhile back it was hinted that they were working on a search engine with K8s as the backend but it's been 2-3 years since I inferred that and there's been nothing. Everyone I know there is/was a k8s contributor.

I used to work for a super secret company making cool stuff and it was so lame that I couldn't talk about any of it.

I suspect OLE was mainly useful when you didn’t have networked file storage that was easy to link to, so you had to stuff a file into another file in order to easily access both.

Thats just a guess tho, I only remember it being used for graphs that you made in Excel and could then paste into Powerpoint and still be able to make changes.

I don't quite understand how it avoids the case for code that pushes lots of stuff to a vector, then shifts its all out, and then does this again—which, to me, doesn't seem like an edge-case at all.

Do any languages automatically reduce vector size when elements are removed from it? If this is the first one, then arguably it would be a bit surprising behaviour.

C# has value types, stackalloc, simpler FFI and a rich SIMD API, offering far better control for low-level code than Java. I don't feel green threads is a system level concern, and while Java's ecosystem is huge, it's also very enterprisey. Also, I'd disagree with more open, C# is under a more permissive license and Oracle has actually been litigious over Java.
Agree with the "hanging" and general responsiveness issues with VS Code, but typing (when VS Code is not taking a nap)? No way. Pure typing is not distinguishable.

NASA/JPL predicted a major global warming anomaly arriving this past year due to the Tonga eruption of Jan 2022.

They gave a forcing estimate of +0.15 Wm−2, equivalent to half a decade of global human CO2 forcing, arriving mainly at 18-24 months after Jan 2022 (ie the past year) and lasting for 5-10 years

"the HT-HH eruption was unusual in that it injected extremely large amounts of H2O [into the stratosphere]. Preliminary climate model simulations suggest an effective radiative forcing at the tropopause of +0.15 Wm−2 due to the stratospheric H2O enhancement. For comparison, the radiative forcing increase due to the CO2 growth from 1996 to 2005 was about +0.26 Wm−2.

"The excess H2O could arrive in northern and southern midlatitudes in ∼18 and ∼24 months, respectively, over a broad domain in the upper stratosphere... The timescale for complete dissipation of the plume may be 5–10 years

The old security model assumed that the "system administrator" and "apps" could be trusted, it was just the users which had to be segregated. The modern world has that the other way round: "system administrator" doesn't scale, apps absolutely cannot be trusted not to violate your privacy, and most devices are single-user. Protecting user data in a component system from hostile components is .. conceptually impossible?

Is There a Power Play Overhang?
Author here: one thing I didn't mention in the post, but which is mentioned in the issues/readme on GitHub is that while I've been working on this for awhile, it's still a pretty new project in many ways. So what you're describing is interesting, but probably premature. The generated class files can still be very large, and the compiler itself has comments like "TODO: O(n^2)" that make throwing arbitrary input at it a dodgy idea.

Beyond those factors, there's the matter of just proving out that my testing is good enough, and I haven't missed edge cases.
I didn't know about that! That's very cool.
Yeah :(

It's similar to how encryption was viewed as too expensive a decade or two ago. Today, it is a necessity. Seeing how available bandwidth keeps growing to accommodate things like video, I hope traffic analysis defenses won't be as detrimental in the long run for most internet use.

> don't be too hasty to think the people doing technical interviews are idiots

I don't think anyone has a problem with technical interviews? At least I agree that's not reasonable. That doesn't have to mean 'coding' though, you can ask about how they'd approach a particular problem, quiz on some fundamental knowledge in a fizzbuzz sort of way, etc.

You can more easily tune it to the kind of candidate you're looking for then too, for example I've asked how they'd tackle improving the performance of a particular SQL query that's been identified as too slow. There's a tonne of possible answers to that ranging from naïve/they don't really know, through pragmatic good fit responses, to way overkill I hope they understand we don't need them doing that here/not operating at that scale etc. - and it's fairly open-ended in what you can discuss driven by what they volunteer and know about. (Which is another good thing IMO, I don't like being on either side of interviewer quizzing and candidate umming and ahhing not really knowing! Both more comfortable and more beneficial to have a discussion about whatever is known IMO; to quickly move along the perimeter if you hit the edge of that.)
In Germany, Jura coffee machines do come up on the used market frequently enough if you really want one. If you're "lucky" enough to work in an office / for a company that is shutting down, you may get a "sweetened deal" with your layoff ...

Humane's lag feels down to just bad software design too, it almost feels like a two stage thing is happening like it's sending your voice or transcription up to the cloud, figuring out where it needs to go to get it done, telling the device to tell you its about to do that then finally doing it.

User: "What is this thing?"

Pin: "I'll have a look what that is" (It feels this response has to come from a server)

Pin: "It's a <answer>" (The actual answer)

Zed only rerenders the window each time it changes (and also for about a second since the last interaction for reasons[0]) but every time it rerenders the window it does rerender the entire window and not just the area that changed. That's what I thought GGP was calling horribly inefficient.

What we're going "through" is the planet and there's nothing on the other side. The green economy has a lot of potential (and it's fair share of grifters) but the mindset I refer to openly rejects the green economy.

Does Samsung and apple market their products as eco friendly though? If they do, it went entirely over my head, but I'm usually not really paying attention to their marketing material either.

But let's address your argument itself by applying it to two other companies to see if it holds up: would you consider a "sustainable/green" marketing campaign done by BP, the oil company to be disingenuous, even if they're better then Shell?

I would consider such marketing by them downright offensive and thats why the comparison to android devices seem pretty useless to me, honestly.

In comparison to pretty much all android devices, Apples are better from an environmental perspective. I mean most android devices had an EOL cycle of roughly 2 years until 2023 iirc... But that doesnt change the fact that apple is hardly doing anything either, which makes their marketing claims disingenuous (at least to me).
Not support it currently. However, a single markdown file can be treated as one block. Therefore, all the clues are ready in nb-crdt and nb-editor. One tricky part is the frequent replacement and conflicts of xxx.md files for file-based synchronization. There may be significant differences between file systems. Anyway, I think it could achieve eventual consistency by automatically generating folders like xxx.mds in the same path to manage it.

> "Systems programming" is hard, and should be hard, for reasons unrelated to the programming language used.

The question is: is it harder than it needs to be due to accidental complexity[1] in programming language design. TFA argues that there is still some accidental complexity in the design of Rust that leaves room for an "easier" language that still allows the level of control needed for a systems language.

> As someone who reads a lot, it's actually hard to find interesting things to read. I'm a picky reader.

I have 70+ plus books on hold at my local library (though the holds have been 'paused' so that they will arrive in a staggered fashion). The library has a limit of 100 books being on hold at a time, but it does have a "bookmark" feature so you can save them for later: I have over 2000 books earmarked for future putting-on-hold.

There's plenty to read.

(I read a bunch of non-fiction on academic-leaning topics (history, economics, science), and often get new things to read from the references of the book I'm currently going through. There's a bunch of fiction too: put a hold on Shogun because of the mini-series.)
Zed does do it for about a second following user interaction[0] but I assumed GGP was talking about only redrawing the changed part of the window.
